Fulham v Liverpool: Match Preview

Fulham are doubtful over Mladen Petric (hip) and Simon Davies (hamstring) after they missed the home defeat against Reading last week. Both are likely to face late fitness tests. Steven Sidwell sits out once again through suspension.

Steven Gerrard won’t play for Liverpool again this season after undergoing shoulder surgery. Daniel Agger will also miss the final two games due to a back injury. Luis Suarez serves the third of his 10-game ban, while Jonjo Shelvey is line to replace Gerrard.

Martin Jol pre-game…“We will focus on ourselves to try to get a result to be safe. The Wigan result helped and of course we need a result, but you depend on other games as well. We will look at other results and even when the results are going for us we have to try to finish the season on a very good note.”

Brendan Rodgers pre-game…“This season was about putting that base in place – a lot of great work has gone on off the field here – and putting the infrastructure and processes in place that will hopefully allow us to move forward. There have been young players getting the opportunity to play and I’ve seen development in the players.”

Match Statistic: In the 18 games Fulham have conceded the first goal they’ve won none.
